Stuck lower unit drain plug

[Skools Out]

wd40 isn't helping get some Kroil to get it loose and use a map gas torch heat up just the drain plug it will expand from heat and loosen the threads then re kroil and then use the hand help impact screwdriver to get it out it will come for sure.

being a mechanic for the past 7 years, using a good impact screw driver and tip i never had one not come off.

Hitand hit hard!! It will go! Just make sure you wet it good!! I use the Kiro that skools uses but PB Blaster is good also, heat it up re spray let cool and hit it like you would hit a 19 year old virgin!! She wil losen up!!

Thanks for all the replies. I'll give it another try. Let you know what happens.

The above sugestions should do it for you...you could also place a piece of brass over the screw and tap it in a couple of times, solid and short taps and try again, remember righty tightty lefty loossy.

Like the others said. soak with P B Blaster for at least 30 min, Tap straight on with 1/2 in. brass rod . Then angle a large screwdriver in the counterclockwise direction to the slot and tap. It should come on out. If not tie a rag soaked in penetrating oil onto it and leave a few days, then try again. Its a really short screw. When ya get it out sling that b***h a flying!!

Don't forget to get new washers for both screws!! and new screws if you damage the that one. A little anti seize and you be good for now on!

I had the same problem. the problem is you cant get enought presure on the screw and turn it the same time go to a dollar store near you they sell a srew driver that looks like a T handle and comes with differasnt bits believe me you can put pressure and turn it the same time it works and its a good tool to have
